THIS WEEKEND

Cambridge’s hidden rooftop turns retro tonight with a throwback screening of Pretty in Pink. Free snacks and angsty love triangles, set to a soundtrack for hopeless romantics.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Happy Free Cash Friday (eve)! Tomorrow we’ll be savoring sunshine in the heart of the city where you can still touch grass. Follow the winding paths and you might stumble on a little extra green of your own.

  • Would you walk the plank for a cause? You’ve got time to think it over — the dockside fundraiser was rescheduled to September 14th.

  • Another August weekend means another Italian feast. This time it's the Fisherman’s Feast, a beloved tradition since 1910, celebrating Sicilian heritage.

  • Summer’s biggest bash is dropping anchor tonight in Charlestown with live music, food and drink specials and some of the best views in Boston.

Nothing like a summer storm to start the weekend.
